Special Note: The first of a few birthday drabble...
"It was an elegant wedding." The words interrupt my reverie, breaking me from the silence of listening to the wind brush against leaves. It is a sweet voice, one I should have expected to hear. He knows so much that the rest of us might miss. I don't turn, but he doesn't require such an obvious invitation. He knows well the quality of my silences, knows when to leave and when to stay. This time, I need the company more than I will ever admit. "The perfect wedding for him, don't you think?" And the horrible thing was, I did think that. The wedding had suited him perfectly, fitting his personality as the kid gloves fit his hands. It didn't matter that she had planned it. Every facet of the event had held Lui's image engraved in it.
Still I say nothing, but it doesn't matter. Camus has come to rest beside me, staring out at the sea as the two of us contemplate the change it will mean to our own lives. He was the world to us, the darkly glittering star that guides our path with unwavering certainty. But things have changed. He is no longer ours, and all the half-constructed fantasies and dreams of the future will not change this. We must begin forging our own way, parting the darkness with our own faltering light. My eyes fall away from where they were watching the horizon, slipping down to regard the glittering waves, and I miss the slight motion that brings Camus' hand into mine, curling around my fingers and remaining there.
Perhaps it is my imagination, but I can almost see our flickering lights steady.
